Soen - Lotus Chords

[Intro]
Em
Gather around
                       D
All the things that we admire
                      Am
To be here is where I wanted to be
                 Em    C
To abandon who I was
Em
Gather around
                            D
As we're pushed towards the fire
                        Am
We've been tricked into believing that all
                           Em     C
Starts and ends within our walls



[Verse]
Em
Gather around
                            D
Holding close your sons and daughters
                          Am
Promise them that we will all be alright
                            Em   C
Let them know you love them all
Em
Talk to yourself
                        D
Let your essence be the answer
                           Am
While we chase the meaning of who we are
                     Em     C
Navigating through a storm



[Verse]
Em     D          Am
Gather around and follow me
                       Em
Something misled us to this
           D      Am
Wanting it all is poverty
                       Em
Rich is the one who is free
D              C
Be the one who wakes up
All of those who roam



[Bridge]
C
Shake your head to the sides,
D
wake the animal inside of you
Am
Run away from it all,
                         Em
let the wildness be your home
C
Plant a tree, kill a man,
                         D
let your instincts be in charge of you
Am
Where you walk, what you dream,
                        Em
measures who you really are



[Outro]
Em
Turn to your friends
                          D
Let them face the one you mirror
                        Am
And the demons that now rest on your side
                            Em
They will leave you on your own
